合资企业售后市场在中国保持强劲势头
冠状病毒疫情以及跟美国的贸易紧张关系可能意味着，中国目前已跌出了有吸引力的商业目的国名单，但西方的MRO企业仍致力于开发这个有许多公司已积累大量经验的国家。
The coronavirus outbreak and trade tensions with the US may mean that China has sunk down the list of attractive business destinations for the time being, but Western MRO companies remain committed to a country where many have already accumulated substantial experience.
几乎所有这些都是通过与中国三大航空公司进行合资经营实现的。例如：北京飞机维修工程有限公司是德国汉莎航空公司跟中国国航的合资企业；珠海摩天宇航空发动机维修有限公司是德国MTU航空发动机有限公司跟南航的合资企业；四川国际航空发动机维修有限公司是CFM跟中国国航的合资企业。
Almost all of that has been through joint ventures (JVs), often with one of the three big Chinese airlines. Example include AMECO Beijing, Lufthansa Technik’s joint venture with Air China; MTU Zuhai, a partnership with China Southern; and SSAMC, CFM’s engine overhaul JV with Air China.
“我们很荣幸能在中国南航获得这样一位很出色的合资伙伴，”珠海摩天宇航空发动机维修有限公司总裁兼首席执行官Jaap Beijer告诉《Inside MRO》，“事实上，在2018年底，我们就同意将合资协议再延长20年至2051年”。
“We are very fortunate to have a great joint venture partner in China Southern,” Jaap Beijer, president and CEO of MTU Maintenance Zuhai, tells Inside MRO. “In fact, at the end of 2018, we agreed to extend our joint venture agreement by a further 20 years to 2051.”
Beijer表示，尽管所在省份已延长春节假期以有效防控冠状病毒疫情，但公司现在已“恢复满负荷运转”。
Beijer says that despite the Chinese New Year holiday being extended in MTU Zuhai’s home province to cope with coronavirus outbreak, the facility is now “back operating at full capacity”.
同美国的贸易紧张态势似乎也不是很大的障碍，北京方面报告称，对珠海摩天宇航空发动机维修有限公司的影响为零，预计未来也不会有什么影响。他声称：“航空业对中德两国都至关重要，我们担心这个市场会陷入危险。”
Trade tensions also don’t seem to be much of a hindrance, with Beijer reporting zero impact on MTU Zuhai operations and none expected in the future. “The aviation industry is crucial to both countries and we doubt that this market will be put in danger,” he says.
即便是美国的旗舰企业似乎也没有被吓倒：波音在2019年底宣布，将与南方航空的合资企业GAMECO合作，在中国新建一条货运飞机改装线。
Even flagship US companies don’t seem deterred, with Boeing announcing in late 2019 that it would open an additional Chinese freighter conversion line in partnership with GAMECO, which is itself a joint venture of China Southern.
